Chapter 192 The Secret of the Cultivation Method (Two in One)
As soon as he left the committee, Gothe went straight to the college library.
The college library is not open all day, it is only open from 9 am to 8 pm.
Especially the old mage who guards the second floor. He is quite old. It is good if he does not arrive late and leave early. "Working overtime" is impossible.
Go up to the second floor of the library and meet the old mage for the fourth time.
As soon as Gothe came in, the old mage put down the tea cup in his hand and asked strangely: "What's going on this time?"
It's impossible that he's here to buy spell formulas again.
Gaode smiled shyly, "I was successfully promoted to a first-level mage today. Let's take a look at the practice method of an official mage."
Apprentice guidance method and apprentice meditation method are only applicable to mage apprentices. At this stage, once you become an official mage, you need to change your practice method.
The old mage glanced at Gothe in surprise, "I didn't expect your talent to be quite good."
"It's okay, it's okay." Gothe was embarrassed to deny it directly, that was too "bitch".
"Read it for yourself first."
The old mage took out a book from the stack of books on the table and threw it to Gothe.
Then he leisurely picked up the tea cup and sipped it: "All the relevant introductions to the practice methods recorded by the academy are on it, including the specific levels, effects, as well as practice conditions and the credits required for redemption. . ”
“If you don’t understand anything, just ask me directly. I should be able to answer most of your questions.”
Gao De hurriedly took the book and opened it to check.
The practice method is also divided into levels, but it is not as detailed as what he saw in the novel in his previous life. It is divided into four levels: "Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang", and each level is divided into low-grade, middle-grade. There are four sub-levels: high-grade, top-grade, and top-grade.
The practice methods here are just like spells. They are only divided into two levels: "common practice methods" and "rare practice methods".
Gaode opened the book.
The first records are all ordinary practice methods.
[Original Secret Technique] (Ordinary Practice Method): Practicing this technique can improve the performance of the mage's spells in animal taming, movement, intimidation, and natural directions;
In addition, depending on the level of the mage, you can gradually gain "danger" "Situation Perception", "Extra Spellcasting", "Fast Movement", "Wild Intuition", "Spiritual Tenacity" and other abilities;
You need to take animal blood during the practice of this technique
Required for redemption 25 credits.
[Secret Technique of Weaving Sound] (ordinary practice method): Practicing this technique can improve the performance of the mage's spells in the direction of sound, hypnosis, and charm;
In addition, depending on your mage level, you can gradually gain abilities such as "quick recovery", "combat motivation", "exploring others' strengths";
The practice of this technique requires the mage himself to have a sufficient understanding of music.
The credits required for redemption are 25.
[Elemental Spirit Contract] (ordinary practice method): Improve the performance of spells in the direction of elements.
The credits required for redemption are 25.

The credits required for redemption are 25.
[Breathing Breathing] (ordinary practice method) Method): Greatly improve the magic power of the mage.
The credits required for redemption are 25
After casually browsing through the introduction of several practice methods, a lot of questions have emerged in Gaode's mind. .
This is the tragedy of being born as a civilian. You don't realize you don't understand many things until you encounter them.
"As an apprentice, you need to practice guidance and meditation separately. How come after you become a first-level mage, there is only one single practice left?"
This was his first question.
“Because after becoming an official mage, meditation can no longer improve mental strength.”
Gaode’s question is a very common one. The old mage explained it slowly and unhurriedly. Said: "Just like the training of army soldiers, you can improve your strength through some basic training in the early stage, but once your strength reaches a certain level, those basic training will no longer have any effect."
"From the first level of the mage, most of the improvement in our spiritual power comes from the sublimation of the soul brought about by the breakthrough of the mage level, as well as some special expertise or the incidental abilities of the practice method."
" Therefore, formal masters no longer distinguish between meditation and guidance, there is only one practice method.”
It turned out to be such a noble enlightenment.
“Is there no difference between the strength and weakness of ordinary cultivation methods?”
“Also, are rare cultivation methods definitely stronger than ordinary cultivation methods?” Gothe asked again.
These two questions are still the most frequently asked by most civilian mages who are new to the practice of law. The old mages are not surprised at all.
“First of all, the first question is that there is no obvious difference between the strength and weakness of ordinary practice methods, but there is a difference for individual masters.”
“Different Cultivation methods are essentially developed in different directions. "
"For example, if a mage who has awakened the expertise of animal taming practices [Original Secret Technique], the combination of powerful forces will definitely be better than practicing [Weaving Sound]. "Secret Technique" is stronger than "Secret Technique of Weaving Sound" for him.
"But only for him, because if there is another mage who is good at hypnosis, then for him, the [Secret Art of Sound Weaver] will definitely be stronger."
"That's it, it's suitable. Your own is the best."
"As for the second question," the old mage thought for a while before giving the answer: "Yes or no."
"How to say it? Gaode frowned slightly. In a normal sense, "rare" must be stronger than "ordinary". This "yes or no" confused Gaode.
“Rare practices may not always be more powerful than ordinary practices, but rare practices must have unique characteristics and abilities that are difficult to find in ordinary practices.”
< br>
"From this perspective, rare practice methods are indeed more powerful than ordinary practice methods."
"But similarly, the practice conditions required for rare practice methods are often more stringent."
"If so. If you cannot meet these conditions, you have to choose a rare practice method, which is not even as powerful as the ordinary practice method. "
"In most cases, the ordinary practice method is applicable to any mage, and there are not many. The threshold and fitness requirements are similar to choosing a major. The upper limit for finance majors is high, right? But my family doesn’t have any background, and it’s difficult to find a job after four years of study. It’s better to go into a job and learn a specific skill. The same goes for choosing a spiritual practice.
Gaode instantly understood the difference between ordinary practice methods and rare practice methods.
As he turned to the end of the book, ready to see if there was any rare practice method suitable for him, he asked again:
“If I choose a practice method now, what will happen to me in the future? When I encounter a more powerful practice method that suits me, can I just give up my ability to practice it and practice a new one? Or can I just continue to stick to the original practice method?”
< br>This is a question that Gaode just thought of.
What is often seen in novels is that the protagonist always obtains the most powerful practice skills at the beginning for various reasons, so he never has to worry about these problems.
But his current situation is that he can only choose among the practice methods collected by Seris Academy.
Although Sires Academy is already the best mage college in the Principality of Xi'an, Gothe, who has studied geography, understands that the Principality of Xi'an is actually just a very inconspicuous small principality on the Norland continent. .
It is conceivable that there is definitely no very powerful cultivation technique hidden in Siris Academy. And he believed that he could not stay in the Principality of Xien for the rest of his life.
When the level of the mage is higher in the future, after leaving the Principality of Xi'en, there will definitely be better opportunities to encounter more advanced methods of practice. Can we just give up at that time?
"What are you thinking about?" Unexpectedly, as soon as he heard this question, the old mage looked at Gothe with a strange look like a "savage".
“The so-called practice method, in the final analysis, is equivalent to a special exercise method.”
“It’s just that the exercise method in the general sense exercises physical fitness, while the practice method trains Mana."
"Then let me ask you, you originally used a relatively simple exercise method, but then you got advice from others and learned a more efficient exercise method
and immediately. If you switch to this advanced exercise method, will the physical fitness you originally developed through simple exercise methods be wasted because you abandoned the old exercise method? ”
"No." Gothe said embarrassedly.
The old master used a very vivid metaphor to make Gothe instantly understand the principle of changing the practice method.
“Of course, changing the practice method will not dissipate the magic power you have cultivated, but the abilities gained through the old practice method will disappear.”
“However, if you are reluctant to let go of the original method, If you have the ability to practice the method and are greedy enough, you can choose to practice two methods at the same time. "
"It is also an analogy to the training method. One training method focuses on improving strength, and the other training method focuses on improving agility. The capabilities improved by the two methods belong to different fields.”
"If you use two training methods at the same time, you can improve your strength and agility at the same time."
"The same is true for the practice method."
"Isn't it possible for one person to practice at the same time? The more you practice, the more powerful it will be?" Gao De wondered.
"No," the old mage said flatly: "Practice multiple practices at the same time, which can indeed allow the mage to obtain different abilities, and improve the performance of spells in multiple directions, and even through different ability combinations Producing powerful synergy effects”
“But the disadvantages are also obvious”
"Ignore the additional resources required for each practice method, just focus on the progress of practice."
"Due to the limitation of mental power, your daily practice time is limited, and in order to take into account the practice of multiple practices , will cause the time allocated to each practice method to be greatly reduced."
"This will cause the master's progress in each practice method to be faster than other masters who only practice one practice method. "Slowly."
"And the ability to practice the law is often stronger as you go forward."
"A mage who is distracted in practicing two practices has a high probability of losing his combat power." Mages of the same level are stronger.
But there is a high probability that it cannot be compared to a mage who starts practicing at the same time and only chooses one practice method. "
"The reason is also very simple. If you practice two practices at the same time, and both practices have reached the late stage of the first level, you are naturally stronger than a late stage mage who only practices one practice. "
"But I started practicing at the same time as you. Because I only chose one practice method, my practice progress is much faster than yours. However, I have been promoted to a second-level mage. I can easily crush you with my mage level. . "
"Furthermore, leveling up a mage is a very time-consuming matter. "
"Choose multiple practices. Although you gain more abilities, you also waste double the time. It is very likely that you will not be able to level up before your lifespan is exhausted. ”
"So, first choose a practice method that is most suitable for you at the moment. If you encounter an advanced practice method that is more suitable for you in the future, you can directly abandon the old practice method as the basis for the new practice method and exchange it for the level of the new practice method. This is A routine route suitable for most mages. "
"I said this, do you understand?" The old mage said with a dry mouth. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the good tea. Moisten your throat.
"I understand." Gothe said seriously.
As he spoke, he had already turned to the last few pages of the book, where he introduced rare practices.
The number is not large, there are only six rare practices in total.
[Golden Xi Holy Light Technique] (rare practice method): Practicing this technique can improve the performance of the mage's spells in the direction of radiance, healing, fire, persuasion, and intimidation. It can also improve the mage's necromantic-related spell resistance, and can make the magic spells cast by the mage more effective. The spells cause extra damage to evil spirits and undead creatures, and can improve the mage's resistance to mental spells such as charm and hypnosis;
In addition, depending on your mage level, you can gradually gain "divine perception" and "protection". Ability such as "Aura", etc.;
The practice of this technique is only for men, and they need to keep themselves pure; the practice of this technique must be carried out under daylight conditions.
The credits required for redemption are 50.
*******
After browsing through the first rare practice method that caught his eye, Gaode discovered how powerful the rare practice method was compared to the ordinary practice method.
——Rare cultivation methods can bring a much greater increase to the mage than ordinary cultivation methods.
Continue reading:
[Dragon Breath Breathing] (rare practice method): Practicing this technique can increase the total amount of mana and the recovery speed of the mage...
To practice this technique, you must have dragon blood.
[Shadow Meditation] (rare practice method):
[Starlight Secret Pattern] (rare practice method):
Gao De flipped through several pages and found that he either did not meet the requirements of these rare practice methods. , or it just doesn’t suit your own will.
For example, [Golden Xi Holy Light Technique], I am indeed still a "pure body", meeting the cultivation conditions, and the abilities it can bring are indeed more powerful than ordinary cultivation methods.
The question is, what happens next?
Who can guarantee what will happen in the future?
Put a yoke on yourself in advance, something he wouldn’t dare to do.
Thinking like this, Gothe has turned to the last page of the book.
A particularly eye-catching name with a completely different style of painting immediately attracted Gaode's attention.
【Aoki Immortality Sutra】!
What kind of intrusion is this? ! This was Gaode's first reaction.
This classical name, which usually only appears in novels about cultivating immortals, made him instantly confused.
With curiosity and complaints, Gaode continued to look down.
[Aoki Immortality Sutra] (rare practice method): Practicing this method can improve the performance of the mage's spells in the directions of animal taming, treatment, nature, perception, and plants. It can increase the life span of the mage. The speed of practice can additionally enhance the mage's spiritual power.
In addition, depending on your mage level, you can gradually gain abilities such as "Immortal Body", "Earth Walker", "Natural Recovery", "Nature's Word", and "Nature's Protection".
To practice this method, you need to choose a specific plant as a sacred object to increase your lifespan through the plant. Once the sacred object dies, all the increased lifespan will be dissipated;
To practice this method, you need to absorb the essence of the plants and trees. , the stronger and higher the quality of the essence of grass and trees, the faster the mage will practice.
The credits required for redemption are 25.
